        Haha, I just looked a this list a couple of months ago (which is why I knew it had a name).

        But I forgot about “Rob Banks, British police officer”. Brilliant.

        And I remember that “Don Black, white supremacist” also cracked me up, last time.

        It really amused me to know there is an American football player named Jake Butt who played a position called “tight end”. Glad to see he’s made the list.

        Edit: Wow, reading through that list…Someone out there really went and named their child “Marijuana Pepsi”. And her siblings and parents all have normal names…

        Karpathy used to be the lead engineer for Tesla’s self-driving software development. I thought that was funny.

    “Majestic storm reporting good weather”

    That would be confusing as hell at a glance.

    Nominative Determinism strikes again!

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_determinism

    Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine’s humorous “Feedback” column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman[1] and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon.
